When you age, will you be able to ask yourself the question that most people avoid? That is, have you ever fulfilled your dreams? Or have you ever lived up to your aspirations without feeling regretful about what-could-have-beens?
The situation that we were deliberately brought in suggests, if you haven't noticed yet, that a single human being is in no control of billions more. How they think or behave is not your call, at least that much is true. So how do you propose we live our lives without being affected so much by arrogance and greed? I advocate living up to your dreams.
Your dreams do not, of necessity, have to be grand and familiar. It has to be what you want, in an impulse, an inclination and something that you are excellent at. Not something that makes you normal, in fact being normal is not what it requires, but what makes you just you.
In case you haven't a clue, making your dreams known is your only ticket away from pretending to be somebody else. If you weren't taught of this in school yet, I would most ardently profess that life is short. In fact, shorter than you think it is.
The Magic of Belle Isle is a movie that focused on the same subject. No matter how many times you turn your back on the things that you love, there is a powerful force that would take you right where you belong. It's a no-brainer, how you must live a life surrounded by the things you have zest for. Not so many people have the courage to give up anything for it. But once you did, then already you have discovered the lesson that our ancestors have been trying to teach us.
Be somebody else and regret that you can not take pride for anything. Note that you have even died long before your life's end.
Be the person that you ought to be and your story will live much longer than you.
